As I began my transition to a new phase of life, I made the decision to shift from being a passive donor to an intentional philanthropist, a subtle but important distinction that required a different mindset and skillset.

I have known Lisa for over 30 years and have seen her successfully develop grantmaking strategies to tackle the most difficult and complicated community issues with vision, passion, and tactical leadership. She brings a unique combination of heart and brain to all her work because she is willing to learn, bring others along, and ask the difficult questions as she helps figure out the solutions.

Lisa has long been such a treasured colleague. She approaches all that she does with interest and enthusiasm, asking probing questions that lead to innovative solutions and creative collaborations.

Lisa has always been an example of what a true leader is.

The legacy of Lisa’s career in the Denver Jewish community and beyond is remarkable.

Working with Lisa was life changing for me and the work I am doing with the Duet Design Group Foundation.

Lisa is a coach, mentor, teacher, and sounding board, which not only makes me smarter, but more efficient and effective with our grantmaking.
